Aoki vs Surge -3

Aoki vs Surge 3

"You got me hooked up brat, now show me if you can defeat this Pokemon, " said Surge as he released his last Pokemon in the field.

~ Rai Rai ~

A 1m tall peak master rank Raichu appeared in the field with electricity sparkling on his cheeks.

"This is one of my strongest Pokemon, Raichu who has been with me for years and my pride.

Defeat him and show me if you are worthy of the thunder badge !"

'He still did not take out his ace Pokemon. He must be very confident in his Raichu'.

The referee was first confused about why Lt.Surge used his strongest line up then he saw his face of Surge and realized that he was enjoying the battle even if he was losing. He had Surge getting bored as no trainers stood up against him.

Usually, Lt.Surge only used one of these strong Pokemons in a match but against Aoki, he used all his strong Pokemons, especially Raichu.

Now the referee was too interested to see how would Aoki's Pokemon face up against the Raichu.

Aoki looked at the master rank Raichu with a slight worry and released his Nidorino.

He could use Charmeleon or Weepinbell for an easier time but if Nidorino really wanted to grow he needed to fight against opponents stronger than him.

~Nidooo~ Nidorino stomped his foot on the ground and released some poisonous gas from his mouth after coming to the field.

The referee announced the beginning of the match but this time Aoki made the first more

"Nidorino focus energy and poison coat "

Aoki had trained all of his Pokemon so that they can apply a cloak of their energy for an extra layer of defense.

This technique surpassed the difficulty of every move they knew.

"Raichu doesn't let him focus and use iron tail"

~Rai~ Raichu dashed towards Nidorino and stabbed his silver tail at Nidorino. Aoki looked towards the movement of Raichu and realized that Raichu was not slow at all.

Just as the iron tail was about to hit Nidorino, Nidorino used Counter to hit back Raichu instead of waiting for Aoki's commands.

The training Aoki provides all his Pokemon has made them able to fight independently in situations where Aoki's commands can't reach them on time.

Lt. Surge immediately stopped the movement of Raichu before Iron tail can connect and ordered him to move back.

'This will be hard….Raichu's body control is top-notch'

"Raichu electro balls "

Balls of electricity formed in front of Raichu which he started firing at Nidorino with an impressive speed.

"Nidorino use ice beam and water pulse to create a wall of ice "

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three to four electro balls completely destroyed the ice wall and hit the translucent screen of move Protect.

The last ball hit Nidorino but the damage was reduced due to the ground-type energy coating. The wall gave him enough time to summon the coating as it was the most difficult to do for Nidorino for now.

"Nidorino poison sting"

"Raichu iron tail"

Nidorino fired poison stings like a missile which Raichu kept breaking by rotating his silver tail.

Raichu started a barrage of thunderbolts and electro balls while Nidorino used a combination of ice beam, sludge bomb, poison jab, etc.

Due to Raichu having a light screen and reflect activate, he did not take much damage in spite of having bad defense.

What gave Aoki a hard time was the power behind the thunderbolt and electro ball.

The master rank moves had done massive damage to Nidorino in spite of him having ground energy.

If not for Nidorino using disable on thunderbolt, the match would be over by now.

This was Aoki's most difficult battle so far which pushed his focus to the extreme.

Every movement, every attack counted.

Now he realized why a trainer getting a Thunder badge was so rare.

Even Misty who was watching the battle was sweating in tension.

'You can do it Nidorino, don't give up"

"Raichu Thunder punch "

"Nidorino thrash and toxic spike"

Nidorino's two front limbs and Raichu's fist collide creating shockwaves, the spikes on the back of Nidorino bust out and set up toxic spikes all over the field.

"Raichu use safeguard "

A white veil appeared around Raichu that protected it from getting poisoned.

Surge realized how of a problem the Nidorino was.

First, all of Aoki's Pokemons have moves that have power equivalent to master rank with them being at intermediate rank.

The next problem was that Nidorino's poison was dangerous so Raichu had to be cautious all the time. Generally, Raichu instantly gets the opponent paralyzed by Nidorino was somewhat countering that with a ground-type energy cloak.

Both Aoki and Surge knew that one direct hit from Raichu was over for Nidorino.

"Let's end this Raichu, use Thunder"

"Nidorino use the strategy discussed. Ice wall around Raichu. "

~Dark clouds instantly formed above the head of the two Pokemon and a large amount of electricity was rained on the battlefield.

The effect of the move was so strong that the entire gym was enveloped in white light.

Aoki covered his ears as he felt like his eardrums would burst.

'What the hell is this power….this would even one-shot elite-level Pokemon !!' Cursed Aoki.

This went on for a few seconds until another explosion occurred on the battlefield and the light faded.

A broken battlefield was uncovered which had large holes all over the place.

In the field and as for the Pokemon….

Everyone was shocked to see the outcome

Raichu was lying on the ground and fainted while Nidorino was still standing with blood dripping from all over his body.

He gave looked towards Raichu and gave a roar of victory before falling too the next second. As Raichu fell first, he lost the match.

"R..Raichu is unable to battle, the winner is Nidorino.

Lt. Surge is out of Pokemon, Challenger Aoki wins the match"

The referee announced still shocked by the outcome.

In her entire life, she hasn't seen a single Pokemon manage to stay awake under the thunder of Raichu.

What actually happened was, that just as Raichu used Thunder,

Nidorino used to dig with all his might and went under Raichu but still took some damage while digging.

The power of thunder almost made him faint on spot but when he remembered all the training he did with Aoki and the others, he could not let all that go to waste and would give his all.

The thunder had completely blinded Raichu so he was not able to detect Nidorino going underground. The ice wall assisted him in this matter.

Within a few seconds, Nidorino reached under Raichu and used the combination of horn attack and poison jab on Raichu who was unprepared to finally end the match.

Aoki ran towards his fallen Nidoran and emptied three bottles of max portions on him to stabilize his wounds.

"You did it, buddy, I am proud of you " whispered Aoki in the ears of Nidorino and called him back to the Pokeball.

It was Aoki's first victory against a master rank Pokemon.

Surge too called back Raichu with a smile on his face.

"Well done brat seems like you were not just 'talk' after all. Its been a while since someone has managed to defeat my Raichu "

He took out a lightning-shaped bade and handed it to Aoki.

"You deserve this badge brat "

Aoki gave a light smile and put the badge in his badge case which already had 3 badges.

"The T.M for Thunderbolt is not available right now, you can get it from the reception if you come tomorrow morning "

Misty wanted to challenge Lt.Surge too but Lt. Surge said to come at night as his Pokemon needed a break.

"You should have more master-level Pokemons right? " Aoki asked Surge.

"Yes, I have more master-level Pokemon. In case you don't know, a few days ago a giant power surge happened in the power plant. The entire city was blacked out.

The reason is unknown but the entire powerplant was destroyed so my other master-level Pokemons are there supplying electricity while the powerplant is being repaired. " Surge said.

******

Aoki handed his Bagon and Nidoran to Nurse joy who became angry seeing the condition.

"Why are you trainers so reckless?! I tell every trainer that the Thunder badge is impossible for new trainers. I always advise you to come to this gym at last or entirety skip this gym but no one listens to me. "

"Nurse Joy listen to me...I won the match" said Aoki showing the Thunder badge

"What! YOU WON !! " exclaimed Nurse joy attracting every trainer's attraction toward Aoki.

'He must be joking!'

'It's impossible to beat that monster! '

Some trainers exclaimed

Somebody recognized Aoki from the junior cup and pointed him out but another one said.

'So what I have a Victory bell and still lost '

Aoki ignored them and asked when will his Pokemon recover to which she said Bagon would completely recover by tomorrow morning as he was just tired but Nidorino would take some time.

Due to the expensive medicines, Aoki used Nidorino's wounds to have healed but he would be kept under supervision for one day more to check if any internal injury is present.

"Congratulations, now take some rest. It must have been hard to command such a battle" said Misty.

Aoki whose head was on her lap closed his eyes to take some rest with a satisfied smile.
